Halfway To Hell

Shawn and Mimi romp. "Wow. I had no idea you were so creative," says Shawn.

"I didn't either," says Mimi.

Shawn has worked up an appetite. Mimi offers to help cook, but hopes she doesn't ruin everything. He gives Mimi a wrap-around apron to put on. More kissing. Forget the meal.

Belle listens through the special vent. She remembers her talk last night with Shawn when she apologized for busting in on their honeymoon. Phillip comes down, "Can't sleep huh? Well, two people just got married you think are wrong for each other and you love one of them with all your heart."

Lucas tells Carrie she has made him the happiest man in the world. He says they have to start thinking about a date. Carrie is distant. Lucas asks, "What is it? Why are you upset?"

Sami tells Austin she is glad they are dating now.

"We have all the time in the world now," says Austin.

"What does that mean," says Sami, "Do you mean we can take it easy now that you had to settle for me instead of my sister?"

"Hey," says Austin, "I kicked my mother out because of you. I told her I've had feelings for you for a very long time."

"Thanks for sticking up for me," says Sami, "But if you give Kate half a chance, she'll do everything to split us up."

"She doesn't have any say in the matter," says Austin, "Of course, I don't want to spend the rest of my life being a referee either."

"What do you mean the rest of your life," says Sami, "Why, Austin, that's very forward of you." Austin looks around for the next plane out of town. "Just kidding," laughs Sami. Austin looks at Carrie and Lucas and says he has an idea.

Patrick and Hope sail into the night. She remembers tossing her wedding ring and yells back to him to go faster. Patrick revs up those sails and the boat lunges forward. Hope screams and slides off the boat into the ocean. A DiMera plot, no doubt.

Billie asks Grizzly where he got the phone. "It belongs to the girl down there," he says.

"OMG," gasps Billie, "It's Chelsea." She yells into the open manhole, "Bo, you have to get her!"

Ed Norton tells Bo there is a gas leak. "This is my daughter," yells Bo, "She will not die down here!"

"Smells like hydrogen," says Norton, "We can't stay down here." Bo tells Chelsea they will get her out.

Grizzly tells Billie there is no way to stop the leak.

Billie panics, "BO, HURRY!"

Patrick pulls Hope back into the boat. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so he pulls off his shirt and hands it to her. He wonders how he would have explained it to Bo if she had drowned.

"Bo is no longer a part of my life," she says.

"You have to give him another chance," says Patrick, "You are in love. This divorce is wrong."

Hope pouts, "I don't want to talk about this."

"Fine," says Patrick, "I got you a surprise. I'll get it OK?"

Shawn and Mimi paw each other as they fix the meal. Back to the couch. Pan up to the billowing black smoke which once was an omelet.

Phillip asks, "You didn't want to see them get married did you?"

"You're right," says Belle.

"I know how hard it was to watch your mother marry Alex North," says Kirinac the Great, "I know you think your family is falling apart, but you have us. I love you, I love Claire, we're all gonna be happy. It's gonna be fine."

Belle sniffs, "Do you smell smoke? OMG, SHAWN!"

Carrie says she is just emotional. Lucas promises to make all her dreams come true. Sami clears her throat as they kiss. She gives them a pair of stuffed lovebirds. She thought they could try pets before they take a crack at kids. Forget Will. Everybody wishes everybody happiness.

A photographer comes up and asks for shots for Salem magazine's spring lover's edition. He of course puts Sami and Lucas together, Austin and Carrie.

Shawn puts out the fire. Then he douses the flames on the food, too. Phillip and Belle rush in. Shawn assures them everything is OK. He and Phillip have a good ole back-slappin' laugh over it as Belle and Mimi go to check on Claire. Phillip tells Shawn he is worried about Belle, "She won't talk to me. I figure maybe she might talk to you."

Mimi tells Belle she is an amazing mom. She will be coming to her for advice all the time. She and Shawn will start thinking about adoption when they get back from the honeymoon. Mimi says, "I know what a great father he's going to be. I mean, he already is with Claire..."

Belle says, "What?"

Shawn is surprised Phillip would ask him to talk to Belle since it bothered Phillip when he talked to her at the wedding. "But she was better when she came back," says Phillip, "She's lost her mother to a psychopath and now she thinks she's going to lose you too."

Shawn remembers talking to Belle at the wedding. "So what can I do," he asks.

Kirinac the Great is out of ideas, "Let's just the four of us get out of here."

"What do you want to do," asks Shawn.

"There is something going on down at the pier," says Phillip.

Shawn says, "I just have to ask Mimi."

Belle asks again what Mimi meant by Shawn being a great dad to Claire.

Mimi thinks, "You and your big mouth!" She says, "I just meant he is a great godfather. I was upset when I realized I couldn’t give him biological kids, but there are so many babies who need homes. And I hear the best part about being pregnant is the trying part, and we're not having any trouble with that. How did we both end up with the most perfect guys? Remember those cheesy romance novels we used to read in high school, or that cheesy soap opera Days Of Our Lives we used to watch? I think I was reading the G-rated ones because they left out some very important details."

Belle's imagination kicks in. She and Shawn are going at it hotter than a Mimi breakfast special as fireworks go off in the background.

Phillip interrupts and says Shawn wants to talk to Mimi. She leaves. He tells Belle, "There is something very important I need to ask you right now."

Patrick comes back up onto the deck. "I caught you something," he says. Apparently he threw his line into the ocean and hauled out a full-course dinner.

"It looks great," says Hope. She remembers Bo doing the same thing on the Fancy Face. She takes a bite and tells Patrick it's delicious, but sees Bo. She kisses him.

The very same Bo tries to pull the brat out of the sewer as Norton calls for oxygen masks. The brat screams, "We're gonna die!" We can only hope.

"Hang on Chelsea," yells Billie.

Bo tells the brat he's going back for oxygen masks. He covers her up and climbs the ladder. Chelsea flashes back to Bo giving her money.
Her dad is just the greatest sucker in Salem.

Chelsea chokes. Back on the street, Bo tells Billie the brat's legs are caught. Billie yells, "I don't want her to be by herself."

Bo says, "Take it easy. We'll figure out a way to get her outta there." The earth rumbles down below.

Phillip wants to know if Belle wants to go dancing. Belle says, "Oh, sure, we can just put Claire in a backpack." Not to worry, Phillip has hired Millie to baby-sit. Belle doesn't really want to go, but gets more interested in the proposition once she finds out Shawn is going.

Mimi just wants to stay there and be together. Just her, Shawn and the charred omelet. Shawn says that's what he wants to do, too, "But Phillip is worried about Belle. And the loft is still smoky." Mimi agrees. They smooch as there is a knock on the door. Phillip and Belle come in and ask if they are ready. Mimi thinks she should get dressed. Shawn likes her little apron. She promises to wear it later.

The tiresome foursome switches couples. The photographer mumbles to himself, "I thought they looked better the other way." He asks them to dance while he snaps pictures.

Lucas wants to take Carrie home. Likewise with Sami and Austin. They start to leave as the other fab-four walks up.

Bo and hope kiss. He turns back into Patrick as Hope opens her eyes in horror, "Patrick, I'm sorry!"

Patrick says, "Don't apologize."

Hope wonders, "What was I thinking sending that email?"

Patrick says, "Don't beat yourself up. He responded so fast..."

"That's what I don't understand," says Hope, "I don't know what to think or feel. You're making this sound like some big miscommunication but there is no mistaking what he said to me."

Patrick asks, "Do you still love Bo?"

"Yes."

Patrick says, "Then you have to move heaven and earth to be with him."

Meanwhile, the earth shakes in the bowels of Salem. Bo yells for Chelsea to hang on. "Get me some rope," he orders.

The fab-four think Austin and Carrie are engaged. Lucas explains there has been a terrible misunderstanding. It's he and Carrie who are engaged, not Austin and Carrie.

"Ooooooooooo..." they mumble in unison. Congratulations all around. Shawn and Mimi go off to get some food.

Sami asks how Claire is. She and Belle go off to get something to drink.

Phillip apologizes to Lucas, "But I have to ask what does Mom think?"

"Who cares what Mom thinks," snorts Lucas.

Phillip advises, "Just keep your eyes open, OK?"

Sami can't believe Alex and Marlena got married again. She couldn't stay at the wedding. It made her sick. Belle asks if she is OK with the Carrie and Lucas engagement.

"We aren't meant to be," says Sami, "On a lighter note, Austin and I are dating."

Belle says, "I am so happy for you Sami. It's important the right people end up together and you have no regrets." She watches Shawn and Mimi dance and regrets.

Austin tells Carrie he isn't going to try to change her mind again. He wishes her luck. Likewise. Sami comes up and suggests they leave. Lucas and Carrie follow.

Belle says, "I just feel like everybody has ended up with the wrong person."

"Everybody except us," says Phillip.

Patrick tells Hope if she takes herself out of the running she will be unhappy with who wins the race. He proposes sailing her all the way back to Salem, that great seaport.

TV crews have arrived at the scene as Bo starts back down with the rope. Chelsea suffocates.

Belle insists she isn't talking about her and Phillip. "You had me worried there for a second," says Phillip, "You and Claire make me very happy." Hug.

Shawn thanks Mimi for going along with this. Phillip points to Shawn and Mimi, "They're happy, in love and will always be." Belle wonders.

Carrie and Lucas have an uncomfortable moment back in his apartment. He doesn't want the evening to end. He kisses her.

Over in Sami's apartment, Sami has changed into her nightgown. She tells Austin she had a great time tonight. She hopes they have a lot more. She and Austin dive in.

"Yes," says Hope, "I'll let you take me back to Salem." Patrick thinks she's making the right choice. Hope turns on the magic satellite TV to get a weather report. Of course, she tunes right in to the action at the manhole in Salem.

"OMG," she gasps, "Bo!"

Billie prays, "Help him save her."

Prevuze

Bo goes back down as the earth rumbles. FF on the brat gasping for breath halfway to hell.


Previews
========

Lucas says, "I love you so much I want you now." Carrie says, "I want you, too."

Sami and Austin romp.

Bo yells, "Where the hell is the damn rescue squad?"

Shawn says, "I'll go." Belle yells, "NO!" Mimi gives her patented look of confusion.

Hope is frantic as she watches the dramatic rescue unfold on TV, "No, not Shawn! How could Bo let Shawn do something like this? How could he?"

Loved the Brokeback Manhole and "Out of the gene pool" pictures. And, had a LOL moment over the "smells like hydrogen" comment - you mean it smelled like that tasteless, colorless, ODORLESS gas? HAHAHA Maybe Prevuze just missed them saying hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen cyanide.

Finally, how did the teen slut get her legs caught? She just fell down the manhole. Did the rats entangle her legs to keep her with them as their queen??

Great Prevuze!

OMG! Hope finding her wedding ring in a fish! HAHAHA That will be her "sign from God" that she should stay married. Maybe she'll break a tooth and just decide it's a sign she should stay away. HA

Good call, Bulldog.
